• According to Collider, "While Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer was unable to fit his good luck charm Jesse Eisenberg into the cast of his upcoming drama The Gangster Squad, it looks like he may be bringing some Zombieland brethren into the fold after all. Showblitz reports that Emma Stone is now in talks to join the cast of Fleischer’s period crime flick. The story revolves around the elite squad of cops who hunted down gangster Mickey Cohen in 1940s Los Angeles". Well, it sounds so good! I mean, the cast is already composed by Sean Penn (Mystic River), Ryan Gosling (Blue Valentine), Josh Brolin (Milk), Michael Peña (Crash), Anthony Mackie (The Hurt Locker), Giovanni Ribisi (Lost In Translation) and Holt McCallany (Fight Club) and now Emma Stone (Zombieland) may join them... It seems so interesting! Gosling, Penn and Brolin use to deliver very intense performances and Stone is a beautiful actress that I'm curious to see in the drama genre (she usually does comedies). I will keep my eyes in this project, definetly...

• Cameron Crowe (the director of Almost Famous) is back this year with 3 (THREE!) movie projects: The Union (a documentary with Elton John in it), We Bought a Zoo (the film adaptation of Benjamin Mee's best-selling memoir starring Matt Damon) and Pearl Jam Twenty (a documentary of Pearl Jam with unseen footage). And the trailer of Pearl Jam Twenty is out and it looks like... GREAT! I mean, as a Pearl Jam fan, it seems everything we could ask as a documentary about Pearl Jam! Just look have a look at the trailer:
